There is no shortage of things to do this weekend in the City of Brotherly Love! Celebrate Easter and enjoy the springtime weather at these five exciting and local events:
1. Stretch your legs and enjoy some exercise in the beautiful weather at the Philadelphia Zoo! The iconic zoo will be hosting The 3rd annual Philly Rabbit Run 5k on Saturday, March 26th. Entry fees range between $40-45 (register online!) and includes a free t-shirt and rabbit ears while supplies last, as well as free admission to the zoo for the remainder of the day — a $20 value!
Bunnyland at Linvilla Orchards
2. Bunnyland is back at Linvilla Orchards near Media, PA from 11am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday! Hop aboard a hayride ($9) to the Easter Bunny’s home, where you’ll have an opportunity for photos, as well as face painting, train rides, and plenty of candy and treats.
3. It wouldn’t be Easter in the city without the 85th annual Easter Promenade! Thousands of local families head to South Street at 12:30pm on Sunday to enjoy the lively parade, featuring music and dancing. And don’t forget to dress in your “Sunday Best” for this free event, as there will be prizes for the best-dressed! Rumor has it that the Easter Bunny himself will be making an appearance.
